Stand Tall, Day 12. 8 x 8 Acrylic on 140 Lb. cold pressed Arches paper. © 2017 Sheila Delgado
A couple of weeks before the challenge began, I made a list of title ideas. I always have a hard time thinking of a title. Late at night, under the gun so to speak. I have yet to use any of them.
While painting the stems, a song came to mind. Stand Tall. I remember this song being a favorite. “Inspirational”. I was only nine, so I seriously doubt I was recovering from a heart-break. Funny that his 1970’s suit compliments today’s painting. Not quite sure how to feel about that.
Hey, I think the comments are working again! Carol was able to make one. YAY!!!
Still feel like I am going strong. Haven’t hit that wall. Maybe I won’t this round. Fingers crossed.
Thanks so much for sticking with me on this bumpy website ride! Enjoy your Wednesday!
Take a look at Leslie’s gallery of amazing daily painters.
Almost 400 fabulous works at my challenge Pinterest board!
Instantly recognizable as a Sheila Delgado.

Thank you Christine, Happy day to you my friend 🙂
Let’s see if it works for me – charming piece Sheila.
YAY – It did! Thanks Val, so glad you like it. And so great to hear from you 😉
PS: email notifications are working again, also. YAY!!
Thanks Katie, YAY is right! LOL 🙂 I missed you all!!
The thing about making a list of titles is that it’s there for backup when/if you need it, and it’s good practice for loosening up your title making muscle in your brain. I have several huge lists, but sometimes, I still can’t find a title to match my painting..it happens, especially with flower paintings. That’s why I number all of mine, so I don’t have to go through the hassle of naming them. i’mcoughlazycough lol
If you think 30 days is tough, you should try 365. 😀
LOL, no, I think I will leave 365 to pro’s like you for now. I am in awe of all you accomplish Katie 😉 But I bet it helps to have all those empty canvases at your beck and call 😉 Keep up the fabulous work my friend! 🙂
Lovely flowers! Great reflections on the wall!
So glad you like them Carol, and it is so great to hear from you 🙂
LOL at the matchy-match of your palette and the 1970’s suit!
Maybe your having a list of titles in advance freed you up to generate titles in the moment later as you painted : )
Love the quality of the background here in Standing Tall. You are going strong, Sheila!
LOL, Struck me funny how the universe works. (the suit.) You could be right Dotty. I usually don’t name them until I am posting them. But sometimes a title comes as I am painting. I think I could have done a few more splatters of color, but I like that effect. So great to hear from you Dotty – Missed you all 🙂
